PEAT AND ARTIFICIAL-FUEL MACHINE- Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 8, 1905.

Application filed March 14, 1904. Serial No. 197,916.

To (all 1071 0711, it may con/007%.-

Be it known that we, J AMES OSCAR GREEN, residing at the city ofVhitewater, in the county of WVal worth,and HARRY TALBOT MAR-- TIN,residing at the city of Beloit, in the county of Rock, in the State ofWisconsin, citizens of the United States, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Peat and Artificial-Fuel Machines, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates especially to dies used in such machines; and theobjects thereof are to provide a more efficient die, as illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a peat-machine showingour improvements in place, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing thedie.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the views.

The die D consists of a cylinder 9, having an interior chamber 71extending around an inner core m, with an opening in the center toreceive and hold the tube j, and having the feed end enlarged to form ahopper in and the discharge end enlarged to form a chamber 71 about thatend of the tube, giving easy access to the same. The tube j has theinterior of the feed end enlarged to form a continuation of thehopper l0and fits closely in cylinder 9 and is held in place by a smallprojection Z or in any other suitable manner. The cylinder 9 may restupon any suitable base in the frame of the machine, or it may beenlarged to form the base for the machine, as shown in Fig. 1.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is*

1. The cylinder g-for a die for peat or artificial-fuel machines havinga closed chamber A surrounding an inner core 911. and a central openingnot communicating with the chamber enlarged to form a hopper at the feedend and also enlarged to form a chamber about the discharge end of theinner tube, substantially as described.

2. A die for peat or artificial-fuel machines consisting of a cylinderhaving a closed chamber surrounding an inner core, a central opening notcommunicating with the chamber, enlarged to form a hopper at the feedend and enlarged to form a chamber about the discharge end of the innertube and an inner tube enlarged at the feed end to form a continuationof the hopper and projecting into the chamber at'the lower end of thecylinder.

3. In a die for peat or other artificial-fuel machine, the combinationof a cylinder with the central opening enlarged at each end, with aninner tube substantially as described.

4:. The combination in a peat or other arti ficial-fuel machine of a dieconsisting of a cylinder having a chamber surrounding an inner core withan opening enlarged at the feed end to form a hopper and at thedischarge end .to form a chamber about the inner tube, an inner tubeenlarged at the feed end to form a continuation of the hopper andprojecting below into the chamber of the cylinder, with the frame andother parts of the machine as herein shown and described.

In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names to thisspecification, this 8th day of March, A. D. 1904, in the presence of twowitnesses.
